Let's try a romantic waking again
Alex thought as she gently traced patterns on Marissa's exposed thigh that was draped languorously across her stomach. Leaning towards her girlfriends sleeping face she gently kissed her neck, working her way up to Marissa's ear.
Marissa lay in bed and pretended to still be asleep. She didn't want her girlfriend to stop the mornings caresses.
Girlfriend. That's what this is now. And there's nothing I've wanted more all my life.
Marissa couldn't hold back a moan when hot breath slipped past her ear accompanied by a whispered,
"Marissa Cooper, I love you"
Smiling she turned her face to meet Alex's. Finding the waiting lips without having to look, simply trusting that they would be there.
"I love you too."
She opened her eyes to see Alex with a ridiculous grin spreading over her face. Jumping up from the bed Alex headed to the shower, shooting a sly smile back over her shoulder. Marissa knew this game. She had played it a hundred times with various boyfriends, but never had it seemed so appealing. Following the retreating figure she waited until she heard the sound of water running before slipping into the bathroom.
Steam clouded her eyesight as she reached out and turned on the hot water at the sink. She was rewarded with a screech from behind the shower curtain.
"Marissa! That was so not fair, I'm all cold now"
"Well why don't you let me in there to help you warm up"
Alex chuckled softly at that reaching for the soap. Before she could grasp it she felt hands on her waist, gently but firmly pulling her around. Leaning back into Marissa she rested her head back on the other girls bare shoulder. It didn't take long before Marissa was passionately kissing her neck, searching out her pulse point and making her heart race and her body flush with heat. Spinning in the embrace she casually dropped a hand, letting fingers graze Marissa's inner thigh. The response wasn't one she had expected. Where she thought to receive a moan Marissa's hold increased in force. She took Alex's wrists and pinned them above her. Lips crushing against hers in animalistic need. Responding with as much lust to the unpredicted but certainly not unwelcome assault Alex roughly scraped her teeth across Marissa's bottom lip extracting a deep moan.
"I want you. Right here." Marissa's voice had dropped an octave, taking on a husky desperation as she pressed her body up against the blondes. Grinding against her. Alex felt her insides melt at the sound of it.
"Stay" the roughness of the command took Alex off guard but she did as she was told.
Who knew the sweet Marissa Cooper had an authoritarian side?
She felt fingernails grazing down her collarbone, followed almost at once by Marissa's hot mouth. Moaning with desire she let her hand stray to the back of Marissa's head, guiding it lower. The feel of her tongue circling her naked breasts left her short of breath and panting. The water pounded down ignored, and Marissa followed the streams further down to where Alex's moans let her know she needed her to be. Slipping a finger inside her she set her tongue to work. Alex was making enough noise to wake half of Newport by now, she didn't think she could get any louder. Until Marissa slipped another finger in. Bringing her head back up to launch into a passionate kiss she kept her hand going working in time to Alex's thrusts. When her head was thrown back in sheer ecstasy Marissa wasted no time in devouring her neck. Spurred on by Alex crying her name over and over again as she shivered in her arms.
Alex didn't recover from that one all day. Working behind the bar she felt her hands start to shake and her pulse race whenever she thought back to the morning's encounter. She'd always wondered what the attraction of showers was. Now she finally realised.
"Let's go out today. On a date."
Alex flicked her gaze up from polishing glasses. Marissa was leaning on the counter with a playful grin. "Come on! It'll be fun, just the two of us." She reached out to playfully swipe at Alex's hair.
"Oh no you don't, what did I tell you, don't mess with the hair" Alex laughed dodging the clumsy blow.
"We'll go on a date. Where were you thinking?"
"I thought we could go to this diner I know down by the beach and then later go for a walk or something."
"Sounds good to me babe, let me just finish up here first. 10 minutes maximum"
"You better stick to that" Marissa growled in a mock serious voice while giving Alex her most threatening glare.
Shaking her head in despair Alex went back to polishing glasses, this time with a little more energy.
Marissa was glad they were finally going out on a date. Sure they'd had outings and such, and dinner, but none of that had been formally acknowledged as a date. Leaning back against the stage she waited for Alex to finish with the glasses.
They feasted on a lunch of lobster and clams involving lots of licking juice off each others fingers and just general conversation, all kindly paid for by Julie Cooper. Sadly, she wasn't aware of her kindness.
"So babe, you up for a walk on the beach now?" Alex inquired grabbing Marissa's hand and dragging her out onto the sand. Kicking off their shoes they wandered hand in hand down the abandoned beach in the late afternoon sun.
"You know, it's days like this that make me happy just to be alive" Alex smiled as she said it, squeezing Marissa's hand slightly.
"Hey! I thought it was me who made you happy!" Marissa tugged her girlfriends arm playfully with a pout.
"I'm serious Riss, when I'm like this, with you, I'm happier than I could ever imagine being."
Marissa felt her stomach flip when Alex said that, pulling her to her she kissed her slowly, intertwining both their hands.
"I love you Alex, and I don't need anything else but you. The world can go to hell for all I care, as long as you're still here with me."
Best. Date. Ever. Alex thought as they continued along the beach, in silence this time, hands still linked.
